april fools!

holy shit, has it really been that long?  i know i’ve been known to do some crafty april fools stuff in the past.  this year, the joke is that i’m actually updating my site.

hello audience.  i’m matt.  it’s been quite awhile, so most of you may not remember me.  i used to frequent this joint with interesting things to say.  these days – not so much.

i’d like to say i’ve moved on to some terrible social networking site, but not really.  i do spend the odd minute over at the book of faces, but i still don’t "get the point."  i guess in the world of web 2.0 i’m the crusty old guy who yells at the neighbor kids to get off my lawn.

so, what’s been new?  i’m glad you asked.  not a whole lot of anything.  most of you know that i’m now a homeowner.  surprisingly enough, the house is still structurally intact and the lawn is only partially dead.  the to-do list isn’t getting much shorter — it’s due for some HVAC work sometime soon.  the furnace sounds like it’s a member of a bushmen tribe when it starts up.

oh, and check this shit out.  i have my own office at work now.  has a door and everything movin’ on up!  i’ve also been working a bit less, as there are slightly fewer fires to put out during a normal day.  i’m in the process of hiring someone to assist with some of the day to day stuff so that i can free my valuable time up for frequent masturb…  eh, i mean, the various managerial tasks i must complete.

i must admit that i’m actually considering the macbook air.  maybe i’m just too extreme of a fanboy.  i do see a value in an extremely lightweight "have it everywhere" notebook.  all i really do is use a web browser and watch porn.  curious what everyone thinks, although i’m guessing "you’re an idiot" will be the most common response.

this post wouldn’t be complete without something to rant about.  let me pick a topic at random…  girl scout cookies.  do you think they’d be nearly as popular if they sold year around?  is the success because you can only get them at one time?  i wonder if i could stockpile some and then sell them on ebay in like a few months.  not much of a rant, but it’s all i’ve got right now.

  1. I believe that girl scout cookies are more popular because they are available only once a year. BUT I don’t think you would have much success selling them on ebay. Though I love my cookies, I just wait anxiously until the girl scout’s mother of my clinic brings the forms. I always enjoy supporting their troop. SO I guess, most people love the cookies, but also the fact that they are supporting something worthwhile just might add to the cookieness …
    . . …Maybe if you pretend to be a little girl….. . . . . .

  2. I was beginning to wonder if you were still alive! Good that you finally made a return 🙂

  3. You’re still alive! And you’re still a silly Mac fanboi, wanting to surf the web and watch porn. At least you’re honest about that 😉

    Next year, stockpile the cookies and profit on eBay. That’s just working the laws of supply and demand in your favor!

  4. Oh yeah… and having your own office with a door rocks, but it doesn’t beat having a corner office with a door and a nice view of downtown 😉 I miss those days…

  5. I recently gave up my 2007 VW office with the Geek Squad for a cube @ Harley Davidson…. miss the bug but like the Server Analyst title. If I stand up I can see out the windows.. sry for the short people.
